I’m pleased to announce that I updated my tool to generate metadata documentation.

Please review change below:

NEW FEATURESWord document is now using headings for better navigationUse of GemBox Software Document assembly to generate Word document Thanks to them!http://www.gemboxsoftware.com/

BUG FIXESExport fails if two entities have same display nameExport fails if entity has more than one main formClicking multiple time on "Check all" button duplicate attributes listNot working if attributes are SelectedUnable to create connection on Partner VMDoes not generate document in other than main languageExport to Word hangs with Custom Entities

As you can see, Word generation is the almost the only part that has been updated. Hope it will help you more than ever to build documentation!

So, as many people, your read the Preview Guide for Q2 2012 Service Update and can’t wait anymore to test all these new features?
You can test it now!
Microsoft release a public beta version yesterday. Just remember that this Q2 2012 Service Update is also known as Release 8, which is not Update Rollup 8.
You will find below a quote shamelessly copied Girish Raja's blog for more information.

What does the beta include?

A test only on-premises build

Pre-recorded feature overview sessions and power point presentation files

Pre-release implementation guide

SDK and readme.

Again we’d like to emphasize that the beta release is for test purposes only, and not for production usage. There is no migration path from the beta to the final release, so please plan accordingly and use appropriate test environments. There are elements of upcoming release that are not included in the beta, for example Mobility or CRMOnline specific features are not offered as part of the beta but will be available in the final release.

Where can you get the beta release?

The bits are available on Microsoft Connect site. Please follow the steps below to get access.
